A few parties are happy and a few parties are sad, and life is full of all kinds of things.

The rise of one emperor like a new star is often accompanied by the dismal end of the other's emperor, and the defenders of Constantinople now have this dismal end.

At this time, the military means were much more advanced than during the Greco-Persian War, Greece had no danger to defend, and the sea routes extended in all directions, even if there was the courage of the Spartans, I am afraid that they could not resist the iron cavalry of the Eastern army, and there were also sharp weapons and ballistas and tiger squat cannons for killing phalanxes.

I'm afraid that the retreat to Greece will also depend on the breath of the Great Min in the future, as for the rebuilding of the Western Roman Empire that Constantine IV said? Dream on! The West is already under the control of the Germanic peoples, and I am afraid that there is no longer the possibility of the restoration of Rome.

In the uncertainty of the future, one by one the emperor's guards wore well-dressed iron plate armor, and went to hang their heads like plague chickens, walking out slowly, and the senate that controlled the Roman Empire was now almost all in the hands of Da Min, and the left and right Qianniuwei showed enough politeness at this time, retreating behind and slowly waiting for the Roman defenders to leave, and then go to receive the city.

But the Arabs were not so good-looking, and the Great Min was not very binding on them, and a large group of Arab riders gathered around the middle of the road, laughing and scolding loudly, and some even unbuttoned their belts and urinated on the Arabs.

It is no wonder that these Arabs were so resentful of Rome's surrender, on the one hand, the Arabs looked down on the defeated Roman Empire, believing that they were all cowards who could only play tricks on power, and on the other hand, it was entirely due to the interests of Chiguoguo.

Although Damin promised to take out a sum of money from the treasury of Constantinople as a tribute to the Arab tribes participating in the war, as the Arabs traditional, but where could they do it themselves! What's more, Da Min doesn't give it to Mu? Sling issued an annuity, the Romans surrendered, who will rob in the future? Going to fight the Yamouk River battle with Damin again?

"Greek coward, you are cheap, or grandpa will have to pinch out all your eggs and throw them off the city wall."

A half-drunk Arab noble-looking guy ran into the marching array, grabbed the neck of a Roman soldier and said disdainfully.

If it was a Greek or Macedonian peasant soldier, it is estimated that in front of the tall Arabs, they would endure it, but this person grabbed a Rus barbarian, who originally left the flowery world of Constantinople and went to distant Greece has made these fiery barbarians dissatisfied, not to mention that the future does not know what will be, and in a bad mood, that Rus barbarian unceremoniously called over with an electric cannon.

The barbarians who migrated from the steppes of South Russia, who fought against the bitter cold of the north all the year round, were born with a stronger physique than even the Arabs in the desert, and this fist directly broke the bridge of the nose of the Arab nobleman who came to the door to pretend to be forced, and covered his bloody face, and the man squatted down.

In this scene, the Arabs behind them stopped doing it, shouting that the Christian barbarians had beaten people, and rushed up, the ancestors of the Rus barbarians were also nomads, and the same sex was as fierce as fire, and seeing this scene left the Roman governor behind, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of people were clamoring and fighting.

The whole evacuation of Constantinople was in a state of confusion at once, and the retreat stopped.

…………

Caesarea.

The entire Min Wang's palace is brightly lit, at this time it should also be renamed the emperor's palace, saying that the emperor's success should naturally feast the ministers, the West does not have the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, there is no Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall that is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, in order to entertain so many guests, the ceiling has to be placed in the courtyard.

However, there are quaint bronze lamp trees everywhere, the precious Chinese red lacquer tables are placed everywhere, the beautiful palace maids of all ethnic groups are shuttling back and forth with food, and groups of bands are playing all kinds of popular music, the Greek lyre, the Turkic horse-head qin, the pipa of the Tang Dynasty, the long-sleeved Guanzhong beauties who are good at dancing are staging the flying immortals outside the sky, and the Greek beauties are the poor mermaid dances, and a lively scene still makes the princes, ministers, and elders who come to the banquet elated.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the graceful dance of the Japanese people, looking at the exposed skin of the Japanese women, the barbarian patriarchs of Thrace, the civilized generals of Rome, the barbarians of various ethnic groups in India and Persia, and even many Tang nobles drooled a lot.

It seems that whether it is the seventh century or later generations, the people of the island country are firmly sitting on the top spot in the world A~V.

Wearing a crown, Li Jie was really happy and a little drunk, sitting on the main seat in the palace, frequently telling jokes with the generals and ministers under his command, beside him, the second eldest grandson queen who got his wish to fulfill his wish was gentle and constantly wiped the wine on his clothes, and occasionally persuaded him to drink two glasses less.

Such a hot scene, even those Roman senators could not bear it, some of the playboys in the city of Constantinople left their seats under the pretext of diarrhea, and soon followed one or two Persian, or Tianzhu beauties into the corner, and it was self-evident what to do.

At this time, the atmosphere is open, and this banquet is the banquet with the lowest rules, and the most regular imperial history is a little profligate at this time, and no one cares.

Holding a wine glass and taking a big sip, Li Jie took a chance glance and saw the wife of a Japanese general dragging two fierce Thracian men with chest hair of at least two meters out of the banquet hall, and actually wanted a double dragon and a single phoenix, which was open to even Li Jie couldn't help but shake his head.

But at this moment, suddenly a black capital officer outside hurriedly came in and whispered a few words to Li Jie, which immediately made his smile settle, but this kung fu, Aetius, Anna's political enlightenment teacher, was also full of sweat and asked to meet, and after getting approval, he eagerly whispered next to Li Jie's side.

"Your Majesty, people from Constantinople, the Western Roman Emperor's Rus' guards clashed with His Majesty's Arab cavalry, if this matter is not dealt with, I'm afraid it will make a big fuss, if the Western Roman Emperor then has the opportunity to stay in Constantinople, it will not be good!"

The Senate had a complete falling out with Constantine IV, and the two political groups fought for several days in Constantinople, which was everyone's lair, and it was no wonder that Aetius, the leader of the Senate faction, was so anxious.

He is Anna's teacher and Constantine's nemesis, in the future, Li Jie will enter Constantinople, and Greece, which will rule the Balkan Peninsula and even beyond, will rely on him as a snake, so he groaned, and Li Jie immediately asked very politely: "Teacher Aetius, what do you think should be done?"

"The old man thinks that the heavy infantry guarding the Golden Horn and the Emperor's Road are all Macedonian soldiers, and let them quickly take over the Grand Palace and strategic points from behind, and then His Majesty's army will also hurry into the city."

"There will definitely be some looting and loss of His Majesty's wealth in the process, but it is better than letting the Western Roman Emperor rely on it!"

The Western Roman Emperor is talking about Constantine, after the separation from East and West Rome, the gap between the East and the West has deepened, even the emperor is an unceremonious outsider, listening to Aetius so heart-to-heart, Li Jie can't find anything wrong, so he nodded very happily.

"Just according to what you say, Teacher Aetius!"

But at this time, Li Jie had a heartfelt look again, and then asked, "Teacher, are you going too?"

"Please forgive Your Majesty, I don't want to toss this old bone in the middle of the night anymore, so I won't do an errand for Your Majesty personally, just let a few young people go, I haven't seen His Majesty for many years, and I want to catch up with Your Majesty, and I ask King Min to agree."

At this time, Anna also drank wine and became a little red face, and stood up in a daze without thinking about it, and Li Jie smiled dumbly.

Aetius is the leader of the senatorial faction, it can be said that he is a political giant, the snake is headless, Li Jie does not plan to let him leave in person, Aetius's words are in his arms, so Li Jie immediately generously agreed, and gave his waist card.

Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and seeing Aetius and Anna go to the side hall to catch up, Li Jie immediately raised his wine glass happily.

…………

Caesarea tidal flat position.

Xiao Yehu also received some wine and meat rewards, and was leading the sergeants to drink while watching the moving fireworks in the sky, but at this moment, a large group of swaying figures suddenly broke into his eyes, which immediately made his nerves tense again.

"Who? Dare to break into the military forbidden land at night! ”

"Don't be nervous, General! It's your own people! ”

Under the careful care of a few sailors, a Roman senator who was full of alcohol and fat walked over with the waist card given by Li Jie, which was a fish talisman, which was similar to Li Shimin's confidential fish talisman back then, and it was also made of precious obsidian, representing high authority, and has always been one of the symbols of King Min.

This thing can't be faked, and no one has the ability to steal anything from King Min, but their more than 100 Roman senators returned to Constantinople in the middle of the night, which was too suspicious.

But the fat old man was in a hurry.

"General, we have to do an important errand for His Majesty the Emperor, it's not good to delay the time, it's better than you to send someone back to ask, of course, don't rely on us to delay the matter!"

This sentence finally moved Xiao Yehu, nodded helplessly, he waved his hand to let the guards get out of the dock, but even if he saw these Roman senators boarding the ship, he still didn't feel at ease and sent someone to the military department to inquire, at this time, Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, was still on duty.

One cavalry galloped back to the city, and on the other side, the Roman ship also opened its oars and rowed back to Constantinople............
